Abstract

The films of La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (LSMO) were prepared on single-crystal SrTiO3(100) and polycrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates by dipping-pyrolysis process using metal naphthenates as starting materials. The crystallinity, grain alignment, morphology and electric properties of the films were compared. Epitaxial films were found to grow on SrTiO3, heat-treated at 1200°C, by x-ray diffraction, and to exhibit very smooth surfaces by SEM and AFM observations. On the other hand, the surfaces of the polycrystalline films grown on YSZ consisted of round-shaped LSMO grains. The resistivity of the epitaxial films was about two orders of magnitude lower than that of the polycrystalline films prepared under the same conditions. Preparation of epitaxial LSMO films on SrTiO3(110) is also presented.
